The theoretical maximum is 4GiB. In practice, it'll get far too slow and
take up far too much RAM before you get that far. I'm not sure what the
_practical_ limit is.
The minimum is 6 erase blocks, at the moment. It reserves 5 for its garbage
collection.

No, that's fine.
Out of interest, are you using the current code from CVS or the stable
branch from the 2.4 kernel? The current code should mount a _lot_ faster.
How long does it take to mount?
